  At the age of 16, myself and 4 friends worked as a Leadout, we brought the greyhounds from the holding cage to the track, put them on display for the bettors, and prepared them for their race. There were 26 races per day, 13 during the day and 13 at night. This was a pretty fun job as it was also a casino, so we would get perks if the dog we lead won.
